DETROIT WILL NOT PLAY
NJ aNAGER WATKINS CHANGES
HIS MIND SUDDENLY.

The Savannah Club Asked to Cancel Its
Dates for the Detroit G. ames-Used-Up
Catchers and High Traveiing Ates the
Reasons Assigned by Manager Wat
kins for Not Fulfilling His Contract
The Savannah Management Ont of
Pocket aud the Club Loses Valuable
Practice.
Base ball men were looking forward to
the Detro1t-Savannah games this week
with a good deal OF interest. The De-
troits were TO have arrived here tonight
and the opening game Of the series was
TO have been played tomorrow. Manager
watkins telegraphed Manager Morton, OF
the Savannahs, from New Orleans yes
terday that his catchers are used up, that
the railroad rates are too high and
asked that the Detroit dates here be can
celed. Manager Morton replied that the
games had been advertised, that all ar
rangements had been made, and that he
could not cancel the dates and should ex-
pect the club here to play. Up to IL
O'Clock last night he had received no re-
ply. Early In the evening Manager w at
kins telegraphed the Pulaski House to
forward the clubs mall to New Orleans.
intend to come to Savannah.
The games that were TO have been
played here were arranged by Managers
Morton and Watkins in Chicago early in
February at the solicitation OF Manager
W atkins, who said that he was anxious
to come to Savannah. Dates were also
made with Charleston for three games on
March II and April and 2 Immediately
following the games here.
(,nQTlpRtnn hnpn
cancel its dates on the same grounds that
Manager Watkins stated in his telegram
to Manager Morton.
The Savannah Club has advertised
the games here, and the MANAGE
ment say that they will lose $1,000
through Manager Watkins failure to
fulfill his contract. The club was order
ed to report for practice a week earlier
than it would haVebeen, on account of
the Detroit games. Manager Morton
said last night that he Will hold Mr.. Wat
klns responsible for the loss.
The failure OF the club
to play here is disappointment TO a
large number OF people VINO were count
Ing on seeing the games. The home club
Will be deprived Of the practice which it
needs TO put the players in trim
Tor the league games, and the loss in
receipts will be heavy, as the Detroits
are "drawing card" Other clubs
were anxious to come here, but could no,
arrange dates. Baltimore would have
come, and another game or two might
have been arranged with Philadelphia.
AS 1t is the club IS out all around.
Charleston, however, is in the same box.
Manager Watkins was booked for Nash
vile and Memphis after playing Charles
ton, and 1t is likely that he wants To 90
direct from New Orleans there. What
the result of the failure to fulfill his con-
tract with Savannah will be- remains to
be seen.

Editor Morning NelcS: In going from
Savannah passenger has connection
only with the day train at Rocky Ford
(none at night), and is compelled to wait
over three hours there, both going and
returning. This schedule is not only
prejudicIal to passengers, mail, etc.,
from this end, which contributes over
twO-tnirds to the business OF the Sylvania
train, but it ignores the shoe fly entirely.
Let there be two trips daily with these
connections. Leave SYivania TO con-
meet with the shoe fly in the morning,
wait over until the arrival of the up pas
senger from savannah (12:10p p. NJ re-

Rocky Ford, connecting with the down
passenger tor Savannah, wait over until
the arrlh al of the shUo fly from SaVan-
nah, and return to Sylvania, arriving
there abOut9:30 p. M. This will enable
passengers from Sylvania, as we'll as
farmers and others along the line,
to come TO savannah, attend to
their business and return in the evening,
besides giving much closer connections
with the regular day trains to aud from
Savannah ana intermediate stations. This
dUuble-daily train, it may be argued,
won't pay, as there is not sufficient BUSH
ness to warrant it, by no means. This
was said of the now popular "shoo fly"
train, but after running it successfully TO
Oliver for numbe Of years, it's Increas-
ing business induced the Central railroad
authorities to extend it to MllIen, and
this latter with the most gratifying sue
cess. II the Sylvania railroad euthori-
ties will inaugurate this much-needed
reform, and thus invite custom, they
will certainly get 1t, and, doubtless, be-
yoDd our most sanguine expectations.

LUSCEOU, LITTLE BERRY.

The Cold Weather Gives the Straw
berry Festival Il Black Eye.
Although the season has not much more
than begun, the little crimson strawberry
has started in on Its annual campaign of
wlping out church debts and purchasing
new libraries for the Sunday schools. In
calculable damage was done by the recent
cold snap in giving the crop et-back
and the festival crop was cut short by
the same frigid wave.
While looking at crate of "fancies,O
which were plAoarded with fancy price,
an enthusiastic admirer aud amateur
grower OF the delicious fruit remarked
yesterday that he was ready to accept
almost anything evolutOnists might
teach.
when | look at Wilson or any of
these big varieties which will measure
from three to SIX inches around and some
even more, ii is pretty hard to believe
that they were evolved from tiny little
wild berry probably little more inviting
tnan the sOurest Kind of our wild cherry"
1.-The development OF the fruit has been
wonderfully rapid within a few years
past. The hest fruits of ancient times
were sour grapes compared with the
improved varieties which are enjoyed by
us rpoderBs. France produces excellent

line ones in her lighthouses and on her
high built walls. But no country as a
spontaneous odtgrOwth of nature pro-
duces in such prodigious prOfusion such
delicious straw berries as the United
States. America may really be said to be
the home of the strawberry, as the total
crop OF this fruit In this country is 80
much greater than that of any other
country and the quality (on the whole as
produced by nature is so much finer.
The garden or cultivated strawberry
was first introduced into our market
about the year 1900, and now we beat the
whole world in their production, In this
country the awberry is treated as a
common affair. The English treat the
principal varieties as carefully as il
they were tender eXotics. They are ex-
pensively grown, and only reach the
tables of the wealthy classes, whereas ia
America they are chiefly grown for the
million. The very wealthy get the first
IN the market, because the average clti-
zen does not care about paying or 10
cents apiece for his berries, but when
they get down below 26c. box every body
buys. There is no other berry that is
used anything like so extensively either
in private families or restaurants"
